Hi,
I just made a quick check on the SMART info of my SSD on which OPNsense runs.
I have a TBW of 430 TB, that is around 100 TBW per year running.
This is enormous and I wonder what setup is recommended to avoid burning SSD Drives within a few years. It's a small setup with Zenarmor, ntopng, and HAProxy on top of the usual services (DNS, NTP, DHCP). Nothing fancy and a few dozen different local IPs.
I have to replace my SSD ASAP, and I will put a spare that I have here, but if I keep a similar setup, it will be the same story.
Should I add a mechanical drive and map some of the logging to it ?
What are the best practices ?
